Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The objective was to evaluate the robustness of deep learning (DL)-based encoder-decoder convolutional neural networks (ED-CNNs) for segmenting temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular disks using data sets acquired from 2 different 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners using original images and images subjected to contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE).
